Sir, Is this just something that occurred to you on your travels home? Or did you read something to indicate that Bell planned on getting home late? R/ Major Meridith L. Marshall Senior Defense Counsel MCAS, Miramar 858-577-1720 meridith.marshall@usmc.mil -----Original Message----- From: Huff, Lester COL USAF AFRRI/DIR [mailto:HUFF@afrri.usuhs.mil] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 12:52 PM To: Marshall Maj Meridith L; Puckett Neal Cc: Faraj Haytham Subject: RE: CONFIDENTIAL ATTY WORK PRODUCT Importance: High If I've been lied to, and Bell planned on getting home late and missing the movie on his daughter's birthday, I'm annoyed. This could have been a set-up to do what he did. Still, there is no prior planning, design, or grooming beyond possibly a very short timeframe. I still think the loving parent became the parent lover in an odd conflation of non-sexual love and intimacy with a girl who knew a lot more than most 11 year olds. WHAT IS THE MOST LIKELY DATE YOU NEED ME AT MIRAMAR? And how certain are you of the dates?

GySgt Marcus Bell. He is in pretrial confinement at the brig there. We discussed this case last month, I believe. Raped and impregnated his 11-yr-old daughter. He and his wife both victims of childhood sexual abuse. We're in need of a full workup of him in order to present a full and robust mitigation case at his sentencing hearing in the springtime (TBD). You mentioned that you could do that at Miramar in a clinical setting over the course of a day or two. Looking forward to working with you again. Neal Neal A.
